Mr. Lee’s Cat Cam Documentary

A 16 minute documentary gives a fascinating look at the inspiration for cat cam and what the camera revealed about the life of a cat.Mr. Lee wandered into the lives of Jurgen Perthold and his family when they moved into a new home and he decided to join them. The cat’s frequent disappearances hinted at a secret or double life, and inspired Jurgen to invent the cat cam in order to understand what went on during Mr. Lee’s travels. Mr. Lee and the cat cam have been well known since at least 2007.
